GPX Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Since it's gotten cold (eight weeks ago), my driver's side window has been frozen shut about 85% of the time. And don't you love to discover that as you're pulling up to the drive-thru window! Talk about humbling. Anyway, anyone got any tricks for keeping my windows unstuck? Quote
Euro Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 I just don't try to move them. I'm not sure of anything that will help other than the weather warming up. Or try putting warm water on the windows? Quote
joey b Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 silicon grease. The spray shit and then wipe it off. Works well on door seals as well. Quote

GPX Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions, guys. We'll give the silicon grease a try. Euro, you're pulling my leg, right? Quote

rockfangd Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 i do not recommend water though because pouring water will cause more problems when it freezes inside the doors and you cant open the doors or the windows lol. been there done that Quote
supreme_style21 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 If the windows are already frozen, its usually the seal on the bottom... I just jam my drivers license all along the bottom seal on the door and it opens fine. I've had to pour warm water down that seal when the locks freeze shut.. Bad idea, but when if you're gonna be late for work, there aren't a ton of options.. just pray the window doesn't shatter Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 If all your worried about is getting to the drive through and not being able to roll down your window, suck it up! I had to. I check my windows BEFORE I get in the line for the drive through, and if they are frozen, I get my lazy ass out of the car and walk into the store. Jamie Quote

89GP_SE Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 Lock deicer, put it on all the seals, windows and door, that should work too. Quote
Garrett Powered Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 If that ever happens to me I just grab a gallon jug of that 20/20 windshield washer fluid for your reservoir and dump it on. everything melts off and you can actually see too. Quote
SteveH Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 I have had alot of trouble trying to get in my drivers side door on my 4 door gp. I had Best Buy put in a remote start and keyless entry. I can always get in the back doors with no problem. It is the two front doors that aren't working correctly. I had go through the passengers side front door, go across the arm rest that had a broken hinge that is no longer broken thanks to w-body.com. So I put some silcone spray in the door locks and the part of the door that holds onto the round pin thingy. Hopefully the door will work correctly now. Silcone Spray also works great in the wheel wells. I haven't seen any snow build up in my wheel wells yet. Quote
GPX Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Posted December 30, 2007 Silcone Spray also works great in the wheel wells. I haven't seen any snow build up in my wheel wells yet. Now that's a great tip! I get insane build-up in my wheel wells. I'll get the big can and we'll do the whole car. Quote
SteveH Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 I'm just wondering exactly how well spraying silcone in the wheel wells actually works. So far so good for now. Quote
